We regret to learn that Mrs. W. R.
Dobbyn, wife of the pastor of the Third
society in Minneapolis, Is very i'll, and has
been taken by her husband to Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, for medical treatment. They
have been there now nearly three weeks.
At the last report Mrs. Dobbyn was i'm
proving, but great care is necessary lest
a relapse should occur. We hope soon
to hear that the industrious pastor and
his wife are in a condition to return to
their beloved parish. The sympathy Of
many Universalists in Minneapolis and
elsewhere are with them in this enforced
absence from home and friends.

"Who passing through the valley of
Baca maketh it well; the rain also
filleth the POOLS" Last week the long
continued drouth in the Interior and
Western States was broken by copious
rains. For months the sky was brass
and the earth was ashes. DesolatiOn
seemed to reign over the face of Nature,
crops suffered extremely, never was the
blessed rain more welcome. 1t comes
too late, perhaps, to do much good to
the early corn, but the late fields will
be greatly benefited. The meadows
and pastures and vegetation of all kinds
are already showing new life and farm
ers and stOckmen are greatly encour-
aged. The rainfall has been slightly
in excess in the drouth regions Of
Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin,
Southern Michigan, Eastern Kansas,
Nebraska, and Southern Minnesota,
and on Saturday, general rains were re-
ported in the drouth region from Mis-
souri, and Iowa eastward to Ohio. The
rainfall will be worth millions to the
country late as the advent was. 1t
inspires hope and rejoices all hearts.

If our orthodox friends desire to work
the special judgment theory that was
promulgated by Elder Knapp and his
associates when the Universalist preach
or, Henry Clifford, lost his voice, in Erie,
Pa, they have now notable opportun-
ity. Pagan Bob Ingersoll is suffering
from a throat affection and the exist
ence of cancer is limited. 1t is needless
to suggest the use orthodoxy might
make of this affection in the case of
the noted American pagan.

NEXT WEEK, beginning on Thurs
day, and the services continuing over
Sunday, the Indiana Convention at
Logansport. We are informed that
there is a good prospect for large at
tendance, and also that the Convention
will come out all right, safe and sound
with the finances, and commence the
next year unencumbered with arrears.
This is encouraging and opens up a
splendid prospect for another year. We
trust that delegates will come prepared
by the action of the churches, to make
direct and specific pledges for the work
of the next year, and not allow any
hap-hazard subscriptions to discount
the future. We print the program on
the next page. 1t is not likely to be
followed to the extent of the various
assignments, elaborate programs sell
dom are-but is an evidence of the Or
derby manner in which the work of the
Convention is mapped out.

ment and Drunken

Mrs. Almira Jennings through her
attorneys filed to-day, with the clerk
of the circuit court, a plea for a d.
vorce from her husband, Charles Jen-

that they were married September 25,
1870, in Henry county, Mo-, and
that up to the present time she has
faithfully demeaned herself and has
treated her husband with all due
kindness and respect. As to her
cause of action she alleges, that her
husband has wholly disregarded his
duties and has from time to time Of
fered such indignsties as to render her
condition intolerable. She further
alleges that for the past FIVE years
he has been frequently
intoxicated and when in that state
would strike her and threaten her life.
She prays the court to grant her the
custody of her three children and a
sufficient amount of alimony for the
proper care of them. Her hus band,
she asserts, has property to the
value IF S., 900, which amount is par
tally invested in lumber yard at
